December in June

You want to grow up too soon
You want your December in June
You cannot wait to get ahead
Yet one day you'll regret that too

At 8 you wanted to be sweet 16
Then when that's what you'd become
You raced ahead again too soon
Yes; you want your December in June

Days flew by; became long years
You married young; had children too
A house became your loving home
Yet you wanted your December in June

They've all grown up and left the nest
You're glad they've done so well and yet
Some days you wish they'd never left
Now you regret that December isn't June
